stitched fabric article.

- One of the objects of theinvention is to pro* vide a piece of fabrichaving two or more layers, 5 said layers being connected by means ofblind stitches, said stitches skipping one of said layers of material atpredetermined intervals, in order to simulate a hand stitch.

Other objects of this invention will be set forth the followingdescription and drawing which illustrate a preferred embodiment thereof,it being understood that the above general This invention relates to anew and improved statement of the objects of this invention is intendedmerely to generally explain the same and not to limit it in any manner.

Fig. 1 is a plan view illustrating the improved stitched fabric.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. I

Fig. 4 is a rear plan view of Fig. 1.

Figs. 5 and 6 are detail sectional views showing how the blind stitchesare caused to skip 5 the face layer of the stitched fabric at suitablepredetermined intervals. This application is a continuation of our'application Ser. No. 569,234, filed on Oct. 16, 1931.

In this particular embodiment the stitched fabric has a face layer A, arear layer C, and an intermediate layer B. However, the inventionapplies to a stitched fabricflhaving two or more layers of material, andthe invention is not limited to. an article in which said layers areintegral.

Figs. 5 and 6 conventionally illustrate the needle N of any suitableblind-stitch sewing machine, and said figures also illustrate anysuitable means for forming the fold or bight in the layers of material,in order to form the blind stitches.

We have illustrated a plunger P which is one of the well known devicesfor producing said fold or bight, but we do not wish to be limited toany specific means for forming said fold or bight.

As shown in Fig. 5, only the layers B and C may be presented to theneedle N, so that the blind stitch only passes through said layers B andC, and said blind stitch is invisible upon the exterior surface ofthe'layer A/In Fig. 6, .the needle N is represented as passing throughthe three layers of fabric, so as to form a stitch which is visible uponthe exposed surface of the layer A.

The invention applies particularly to a heni in which the threadisvisible at spaced pointsD,

the layers B and C being connected to ether intermediate the points D,in any desired relation. When the parts are in the position shown inFig. 5, stitches 1111 are formed which only pass through the layers Band C. When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 6, stitches 10aare formed and said stitches pass through the layer A so that saidstitches are visible at the points D. Any desired spacing of the pointsD can be utilized. Referring to Fig. 1, it will be noted that thestitches 10a and 11a areformed along substantially the same straightline. Thepoints D are along the same straight line, in order to properlyimitatethe effect of hand sewing. However, 7 we do not wish to-belimited to an article of manufacture in which the stitches at the pointsD, have the linear relationship which is shown herein. Referring to Fig.3, the layer B forms an inturned end portion of layer C. The stitches 711a, which miss layer A, have loops which overlap the common inner edgeof layers B and C, as shown in Fig. 1. The stitches 10a, which passthrough the face layer, are laterally and outwardly spaced from thecommon inner edge of 31 layers B and C. Whenever we refer to theimproved article of manufacture as having at least three layers, it isto be understood that we include an article which may have more thanthree layers.

' We have shown a preferred embodiment of our invention, but it is clearthat numerous 1 changes and omissions can be made without departing fromits spirit.

We claim: 1. A stitched fabric article comprising a base fabric layerand a superposed fabric layer having an inturned edge portion, thelayers of said edge portion being connected to each other by stitcheswhich miss the base layer, said stitches having loops which overlap theinner edge of said edge portion, said layers of said edge portion beingconnected to the base portion by stitches which pass through said base,layer and are visible at the exposed face of said face layer, the lastmentioned stitches passing through said base layer at points which areoutwardly and laterally spaced from the inner edge of said edge portion.

2. A stitched fabric article comprising a base fabric layer and asuperposed fabric layer having an inturned edge portion, the layers ofsaid edge portion being connected to each other by stitches which missthe base layer, said stitches having loops which overlap the inner edgeof said edge portion, said layers of said edge portion being connectedto the base portion by stitches which pass through said base layer andare visible at the exposed face of said base layer, the last mentionedstitches passing through said base layer at points which are outwardlyand laterally spaced from the inner edge of said edge portion,

all said stitches being located along substantially the same straightline. v

3. A stitched fabric article comprising a plurality of layers of fabric,said layers being connected to each other by stitches which areinvisible at the face of one of said layers, and by stitches which arevisible at said face and which pass through the layer which has saidface, the

first mentioned stitches having loops which overfirst mentioned stitcheshaving loops which overlap the edge of one of said layers, the secondmentioned stitches being outwardly and laterally spaced from the edgeofone of said layers.
